Film Description:
"Choreographer Jean-Pierre Perreault re-invented sound dance and, thanks to his unique vision, left an indelible mark on his art. Filmmaker Paule Baillargeon interviewed the creator of Joe soon before his death in December 2002. This intimate portrait of an artist who was inspired by the 'real world' features excerpts from choreographies, as well as photographs, drawings and paintings by the all-round creator."
